I'm wondering what is the best way to update one table based on another. Can joins be performed for an update?
update table1 set table1.field2 = table2.field2 where table1.field1 = table2.field1; The alternative seams to be: select table2.field2 from table2; update table2 set table2.field2 = $savedValue; which is very slow....
